Adam Levitan projects ownership for every NFL DFS player each week in the FantasyLabs Player Models. Gauging ownership is important when it comes to tournaments so you can try and gain leverage on the field. You don’t need a team of 1%-owned plays to win a tournament, but it’s also unlikely you’ll win a tournament with an abundance of highly owned plays.
The goal of this article is to give a brief rundown of some of the highest-owned players heading into the week, along with how they can affect roster construction.
Be sure to check the ownership projections throughout the week as breaking news can cause these to fluctuate.
Note: Ownership percentages as of Friday morning.
Quarterbacks
As usual, quarterback ownership percentages are spread out with four-to-five quarterbacks projected for 9-17% ownership depending on the site. I’ll be curious to see if Patrick Mahomes’ ownership sees a dip this week with the Chiefs-Ravens total getting bet down from 55 to 52 over the last few days.
Jameis Winston is projected for 9-12% ownership on DraftKings with his cheap $5,400 price tag, resulting in a +4.66 Projected Plus/Minus, a mark that trails only Dak Prescott. Rostering Winston would help paying up at the other skill positions for this slate. Pending your roster construction, it’s possible to get to two or three of the premier running backs on the slate if you pay down at quarterback.
